TPT Win64 build (91.5)

    Hello everyone! I couldn't find any 64-bit Windows binaries for version 91.5, so I made one myself.

    [EDIT]I added the rest of the SSE builds[/EDIT]

    Info:

    Win64-x86_64

    Version 91.5.330

    SSE,SSE2,SSE3

    Lua console

    GravFFT

    Only 1 additional file (gcc dll, because it didn't get statically included)

    [EDIT] No OpenGL, because it doesn't work

     

     

    Virustotal results:

    SSE

    SSE2

    SSE3

    libgcc_s_seh-1.dll

     

    Downloads here (You NEED the libgcc_s_seh-1.dll to run these builds)

     

    --Checking FPS increase compared to official WIN32 build--

     

    When the game is opened, open the console and tpt.setfpscap(1000), then browse for a save named "R16K1S60" with the save id:[1932845] (It's a computer by LBPHacker, but it's good for constant fps test), unpause, but don't do anything. Check the fps.

     

    My fps for each build:

    Win32 (the one downloadable from the main site): 59.5-60.5

    Win64-SSE: 74-75

    Win64-SSE2: 75-77

    Win64-SSE3: 74-75

     

    For some reason, SSE2 performed better for me than SSE3. That might not be the case for you.

    Maybe it's about time I do a 64 bit Windows build instead of 32 bit. The reasons we don't have one now is that, 64 bit isn't actually too much faster. I haven't done any benchmarks though. Your results kind of surprise me, maybe I need to do more testing. Some things might also work differently on the 64 bit build, but the only difference I know about right now is in the Lua API.

    I'd also like to point out that your legacy and SSE 64 bit builds are pointless, because x86_64 CPUs always have at least SSE2. I stopped providing "legacy" builds because probably every computer made in the last 10 years supports SSE2. I also find it a little unlikely that there is much difference between Legacy and SSE2/SSE3.

    Last thing, compiling TPT with Visual Studio is going to be 10-20% faster than compiling TPT from Linux with a cross compiler. I increased the speed of the snapshots that way. I wouldn't be surprised if these builds are actually slower than the snapshots. The current official Windows version was cross compiled from Linux though, which is why it is so slow.

     Oh, alright then, I'll remove the Legacy, and i'll test a win64 build made with VS. By the way, IDK why, but some antivirus software think that the snapshots are viruses

    Yes, i'm not sure why either ... it happened when I started compiling them with visual studio.

    BTW when I tested it your version was a lot faster than the snapshots. I don't remember an exact % but it was more than 20% faster (and that's on top of the 10-20% boost from the official version to the snapshots). So if I compile it right, the next version of TPT should be really fast :)

     Wat. 20% boost! But that's only for Win64, isn't it :(

    Don't tell me you have 32 bit windows

    If I made a 64 bit version I might consider dropping 32 bit support ... but not sure some people still use 32 bit windows for whatever reason.

     Oh nvm I do have win64 :P I switched to another older computer so I thought it'd be 32-bit

    I'm such an idiot

    Quick news: I tested the fps without Large Screen mode, and I got 95+ fps on that save I mentioned in the OP post.

    TL;DR: Use small window on laggy saves.

    Any news on the official 64 bit support?
